I know that this questions has been asked many times here but it has never been fully answered because TM always hi-jacks the thread, ignore him! What I would like to know is if the Intel E7210 (CanterWood ES) north bridge and the Intel 6300ESB south bridge (PCI-X, USB2, and SATA) are supported by FreeBSD. This chipset combo is used for entry level Pentium 4 (uni-processor) servers that have a PCI-X interface. Will FreeBSD 5.3 boot and run, even if sub-optimal, on these boards? Also can anyone comment on these too?, All of these chipsets are used for entry level P4 servers with PCI-X, North Bridge / South Bridge: Serverworks GC-SL / ServerWorks CSB6 Intel 875P / Intel 6300ESB -------------- FYI If your looking for this type of board (Socket 478 (I removed all LGA775s) Pentium 4 + PCI-X) I have done all the hard work for you, here is a (complete?) list of companies that make them: AMERICAN PREDATOR: Phoenix MicroATX (Intel 875P / Intel 6300ESB) Phoenix ATX-P (Intel 875P / Intel 6300ESB) ASUS: NRL-LS533 (ServerWorks GC-SL / ServerWorks CSB6) EPOX: IP-4PCI2E (Intel 875P / Intel 6300ESB) GIGABYTE: GA-8IKHXT (Intel E7210 / Intel 6300ESB) GA-8EGXR (ServerWorks GC-SL / ServerWorks CSB6) GA-8EGXR-C (ServerWorks GC-SL / ServerWorks CSB6) INTEL: SE7210TP1-E (Intel E7210 / Intel 6300ESB) MSI: E7210 Master-FARM (Intel E7210 / Intel 6300ESB) SUPERMICRO: P4SC8 (Intel E7210 / Intel 6300ESB) P4SCi (Intel E7210 / Intel 6300ESB) P4SCT (Intel 875P / Intel 6300ESB) P4SCT+ (Intel 875P / Intel 6300ESB) P4SCT+II (Intel 875P / Intel 6300ESB) TYAN: Tomcat i7210 (S5112) (Intel E7210 / Intel 6300ESB) Trinity GC-SL (S2707) (ServerWorks GC-SL / ServerWorks CSB6) Thanks for your time, Nikolas.
